Global restaurant chain Johnny
Rockets has opened the doors to its fourth restaurant in Brazil, while
preparing for its fifth later this month. With 20 years of experience in the
restaurant business, franchise owner Antonio Augusto operates all five
restaurants and is working with Johnny Rockets to open two more restaurants in
2014.

“After
seeing how successful Johnny Rockets has been in Brazil this past year, we are
confident that these two new restaurants will help solidify a connection
between Brazilians and our brand,” said John Fuller, CEO of Johnny Rockets.
“The bright, modern, energetic atmosphere of our restaurants complements the
aesthetics and environment of these two dynamic lifestyle centers.”

Offering
Johnny Rockets’ classic American menu, dancing servers and sing-along music
selection, the newest location at Iguatemi Sorocaba Mall in São Paulo, which
opened on July 19, 2014, serves as an ideal place for guests to refuel while
shopping. Boasting 4,300 square feet, the restaurant provides seating for 150
guests and serves Johnny Rockets’ signature fresh hamburgers and sandwiches,
hand-spun shakes and delicious American fries and onion rings.

The next
Johnny Rockets will open in Sao Paulo’s Bauru City the last week of
August. It will occupy approximately 4,000 square feet in Boulevard Shopping Nações.

Augusto
opened two other Johnny Rockets restaurants in São Paulo this year. At 9,655
square feet, the West Mall Plaza location, which opened in June, is Brazil’s
largest Johnny Rockets restaurant with 182 seats. The location offers a
children’s playroom, a test kitchen and serves as headquarters for Johnny
Rockets Brazil.

The Tiete
Plaza Mall location opened in March and, as with all of the Johnny Rockets
restaurants in Brazil, offers a Picanha patty, a signature Brazilian meat cut, as
well as the chain’s classic menu items that include 100% beef hamburgers, signature
sandwiches, American fries and onion rings.

Last
December, Augusto also opened the first Johnny Rockets restaurant in Brazil in
Guarulhos, a suburb of São Paulo city and minutes from the country’s largest
international airport, Guarulhos International Airport.

“There isn’t
anything else like this in Brazil,” said Augusto. “The authenticity of the
brand, combined with enthusiastic music and dancing, makes for a truly unique
and memorable experience for families in Brazil. We are looking forward to
providing more Brazilians with a delicious and exciting dining experience as we
work to open at least 20 more restaurants within the next ten years.
